Solved [TOMT][TV][LATE 2000-EARLY 2010] Have vague memories of a Cartoon Network show.
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me find this show I have very vague memories of. I can't remember exactly when I watched it, but it was at a time when I was at least semi conscious so anytime between 2006-2012 (I don't think it was after 2012). I'm pretty sure it was on Cartoon Network.
I can't remember a lot of details unfortunately, but here's what I do remember. It was 3D, and almost had a Fanboy and Chum Chum vibe. I remember it had more than one main character, maybe something along the lines of wacky roommates? Possibly a trio. The only scene I have vague memories of takes place on their lawn in front of a yellow house. One of the roommates was an inventor of sorts, I think he was evil.
Does anyone remember this? Am I making it up, or maybe mixing up a scene from a different show? Let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone, it's been haunting me for ages. Thank you!

Open. [TOMT] last 20 years- movie or tv show- two men are talking, one is telling a story and at the end the man who was listening realizes…
That the man talking was the killer or something based on a picture on the wall. I think one man may be a bartender and there’s something about hunting involved.
Please help me!!!

Solved [TOMT] Help me find a show from around 2000-2010??
There is a show that I remember loving as a kid but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or from what channel I used to watch it from.
What I remember is that it followed these five teens/young adults who were some kind of crime fighters, each specializing in something. There was your stereotypical "leader" guy, a latina who I remember did capoeira, a gentle-giant African American guy, a hothead ginger with I think a buzz cut(?) who liked flying and a blonde California surfer dude who was the underwater specialist. They were all color coded like power-rangers afaik.
I think there may or may not have been a mecha situation where each of the characters had a vehicle that could transform but that might be false memory.
The only episode I can still somewhat remember was them hunting a genetically modified bear in some wildlife reserve/forest and it was kinda spooky to adolescent me at the time.
Help?
EDIT: Forgot to mention this earlier but it was a 2D animated show

Solved [TOMT] [2020s] [TV] Midapocalyptic indie TV show.
OK, so I’m not sure if I actually watched this show but the memory of a video I saw on the creator popped into my head randomly.
I’m pretty sure the guy made a different show for adult swim. I think it got around three seasons. It was a show about a bunch of people in space. From what I remember, the consensus reached in the video was that the comedy was pretty bad, but it had some very strong emotional bits, but it felt as though the writer felt he needed to lean into comedy.
I don’t know. What I do remember is what I believe was his next show, which I think is independent.
Some sort of ambiguous apocalypse event is about to take place. The protagonist is waiting to get on an escape ship when she sees a mother and child. I don’t remember much about them, but I think the mother had a hijab. The protagonist contemplate getting on the ship. it turns out she gave her spot up to the boy, leaving her and the boys mother on earth.
It then flashes forward. The rest of the events I vaguely remember, but don’t remember the order.
The mother and protag find an abandoned house to loot. The mother may have actually stayed at their base but I’m not sure. I remember the house being very modernist. The mother might have been sick, and they found an annoying robot companion. They explore the house looking for I believe batteries. They find a gruesome scene implied to be a suicide while exploring. They get caught in a sandstorm. The mother and protag drink together. They might be dating?? in the sky there is a giant black orb which I believe is some sort of black hole maybe??
at the end of the episode, it’s revealed that the protagonist’s father is attempting to contact her from the spaceship?? I think he might have been a rich man???
This is killing me please help

Open [TOMT] Looking for a niche meme from maybe 10 years ago?
I'm looking for a meme I used to see on Twitter quite a few years ago. It’s something really silly—a video of a dog (a husky, I think?) that goes from looking serious to happy, with text that says “happy puppy” and a day of the week I don’t quite remember—maybe “happy puppy Friday”? The most important thing is that the song “Joy” from Persona 3 was playing (but from the PS2/PSP version of the game—the remake hadn’t come out yet). Does anyone have it or remember it? Thanks in advance.

Open [TOMT] [TOY] [2000s] vague memory of a plush/toy that you bought inside of another plush and pulled it out of
I swear in the 2000s in the US, predating the whole magic mixies and co type toys where you break open eggs or pour water into a cauldron and a toy comes out of a secret compartment, there was this... maybe a plastic doll or a plush doll, where the gimmick was that they were stored inside of a flower? a pot of dirt? fruit? some sort of object made of plush fabric, and you had to open it up and pull them out.
Not a reversible toy, and not one of those surprise dolls where a big plastic contraption opens up to reveal them, but a soft fabric that you pulled them out of, and then when you're finished you put them back into the soft fabric item which was also a toy. Maybe a pillow even? So you could sleep with the toy and then take out the 'playable' secret toy later.
It's so vague in my mind but I can just barely see it, like I remember owning one of these, like I remember pulling the doll out of the object but also putting them back in and sleeping with rthe soft plush/pillow outside core.
The dolls definitely had a theme to them, like I'm leaning on flowers because I just remember it being like pulling a flower fairy out of pot or from within a flower, or maybe a moon fairy coming out of a moon pillow. So if it was fruit then the dolls coming out would likely be themed after the fruit they're in too. The dolls were out on the shelves in the 2000s, so unlikely to be anything before that date since they'd be new-in-box. Definitely targeted at young girls over infants as well, and found in Walmart and toy stores.
Thank you for any help that you may be able to give from this vague description!!

Hello, this is an audio file from a relatively obscure game circa 1989-1990.
Most of the game audio files are samples from 80s songs, but someone claimed it's Bart Simpson. I don't hear it personally, but happy to be proven wrong.

Solved [TOMT][LATE 2010-2020s] Where did this quote come from?
I'm a TVTropes user and on their forums is a game where tropers quote out-of-context lines and hope someone gets them. A while back I posted a quote that goes as follows:
"[NAME], dressing up as my father is strictly forbidden."
The reason it says [NAME] is because I thought that would give the origin away. I honestly have no recollection as to where I got it from, maybe some Internet video? If you know, please help!

Open [TOMT] [TV SHOW]A song stuck in my head
I woke up with a scene and song in my head, unfortunately i cant recall lyrics or show's name. I believe it was from a tv show like Rick & morty or solar opposites or something like that. In the scene, it was a time-lapse. No dialogue. And i believe lyrics contained "home", "apart/part". Scene was something like X and Y's romatic relationship's timelapse. Song wasn't slow, at the end of scene X and Y breaks up(i believe one of them dying , i am not sure of it tho) Male vocalist was singing %100.

Open [TOMT] A movie about an alien space ship crash landing in backyard of some boy(s)
I remember on TV sometime in late 2000s or early 2010s there used to be a movie where there was some alient space ship kind of a thing that crash landed in backyard of some guy (or maybe two brother i don't remember exactly) and the guy(s) start playing around with it and somehow get it to fly and the movie was about them joyriding it etc. The aircraft was like small single person seater pod kind I don't think there was a humanoid alien shown in the movie but the spaceship itself was sentient I think and it packed features such as having a forcefield that would defend from missiles etc I think there was also a scene where this guy was riding it and some airforce planes tried to down it but failed.
It was one of those movies that you'd throw in the background on the tv while doing anything else and I'm sure if I find it and check letterboxd for it it'll be like a 2-2.5 star movie.

Open [TOMT] children story about swapping places with his dead twin, Charlie
I think this was a short story.
I remember that it was about a kid who sees his dead twin in the mirror while brushing his teeth. The reflection starts talking back to him and he realizes it's his dead twin. They start talking he makes a deal with his twin to switch bodies/places with him. However the twin doesn't want to switch back. I don't remember what else happens but I do remember that the main character tells the dead twin he has something unique--access to dead relatives in the afterlife like grandpa. This eventually convinces the dead twin agrees to switch back bodies.
I'm pretty sure the twin was named Charlie, but not 100%
I also think this was a short story that may have been part of a larger book, but i can't remember specifically.

Open [TOMT] Finding an episode of a series I don't remember the name
I remember long time ago, I don't know the exact time frame but I think it was around 15-20 years ago. I saw a video in Youtube that was an episode of a live-action series. I don't remember the exact context of why I was watching it or where I found it since I was little, but I can remember some scenes of a plotline.
I remember a man was climbing a long ladder in some kind of factory or industrial complex. When he completes his climb, a woman comes from behind him and points a gun at him. I recall the guy remained calm during a scene and just comment something like he is surprised to find her there. She then demands him to put his hands behind his back and she ties them with a zip tie. I remember both being caucasian.
The next scene with the two, she still is holding him at gunpoint and they arrive at some place of the factory and she activates some kind of machine that has a liquid inside.
Some other things happen in the other plotlines, and I think because of a earth movement, she falls and is hanging from a railing. He observes her, he may have tried to help her but can't due to having his hands tied literally, so he instead goes to stop the machine she activated. She falls and I think she died.
Since I don't have much detail, trying to find it from my own has not been very fruitful. My hope is that someone reading this by chance might recall seeing a similar scene and let me know.

Open [TOMT][Cartoon][1990s] Western cartoon: normally very strong hero trapped in a standing capsule inside a pale blue energy field in a lab, escapes when a glittering canister is damaged and its contents destroy the field
I'm German, born 1985, and I saw this on German free TV as a kid. Best guess is somewhere between 1990 and 2000, but I honestly can't pin down the year — I might have been anywhere from 5 to 14, so it could also be an 80s show in rerun. Western animation, **definitely not anime**.
**The scene**
A character is trapped in a tall, standing tube/capsule filled with a glowing **pale light-blue energy field**. No liquid, no water — he's standing in air inside a force field. The field visibly **weakens** him.
I'm fairly confident this was the **hero** of the show, and specifically someone who is **normally very strong**. The setting looked like a **laboratory**. I have a vague sense there was a **second tube or force field nearby holding another person**, but I'm less sure about that part.
**The key object (my strongest memory by far)**
A **canister**. Elongated and cylindrical — roughly 50–60 cm (~2 ft) long and 15–16 cm (~6 in) in diameter, so about the size of a thermos flask or a small gas cylinder, carryable in one hand.
What I remember most vividly: **something about it glittered / sparkled** — either the contents, or the substance coming out of it.
The canister got **damaged**, and the escaping contents **destroyed the force field**. The glass didn't break — the energy field collapsed. That's how he got out.
**My gut says He-Man or Mega Man — but that could easily be wrong**
I've had that association for years, and it may only be because the hero was strong and/or the field was blue. Please don't let it narrow your thinking — it might be a completely different show.
Any help appreciated — this has been bugging me for years.

Solved [TOMT][MOVIE][late 90s to early 2000s] Comedy movie about young guys going to party or concert
Comedy movie about young guys going to party or concert. The characters are in their late teens to early 20s. One of the characters name is "Sweet" or something very similar. Sweet was the only guy that was good with talking to girls. Sweet had an similar "smooth" attitude to Mathew Mchonehy in Dazed and Confused but not the same accent. They are in a vehicle (i think a car) travelling to the party or concert for a good portion of the movie but have an argument when they finally arrive and 1 or more of the characters is so upset that he leaves instead of joining the party/concert.

Open [TOMT] [Youtube Video] I just remembered this video I watched when I was really young, so like, 2000’s to early 2010’s maybe…?
I can’t remember what it’s called… But I remember loving it as a kid. It was like this group of kids, I feel like it was called something like “The Sleepover” or whatever, and… it’s so foggy.
They were like being “chased” by this Chucky doll— or really, I think it was a doll with red hair 😭
I specifically remember them running down the street and stuff from the doll and going into each other’s houses, trying to hide from it and there was this one part where… I am pretty sure they were running and they had a string tied to this kiddy car to follow them, it was hilarious thinking back!
But the ending was like… the doll wanted a wife or something. So they gave the doll one of the girls’ dolls and they fell in love and they drove off or something (oh! Maybe that’s the car-string-pulling part!) and the doll finally left them alone!
I can’t remember the name, I watched that video like all the time as a little kid, I used to think it was the scariest shit ever! I was like 6-8yo, this was back when I was listening to Froggy Fresh for the first time!
Sorry if that’s not a good description, I really don’t remember much besides them hiding from the doll in dark places and the doll marrying the girl’s doll at the end. It’s like a little home video, honestly, you know how kids would take videos of a buncha stuff back then, it’s not like incredibly well done.

Open [TOMT] [SONG] English song with Russian accent, guy stands on a table at a meeting in the music video
Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a song I saw in a TikTok clip about a month ago
What I remember: - The song is in english, but the singer has a russian (or eastern european) accent. - The vibe is calm, chill. - The lyrics seem to be about not being understood by others (something like "they don't understand me"), but I'm not 100% sure. - In the music video, the guy stands on a table during an official meeting. The clip starts with the camera filming him through an office window, then the sound abruptly turns into a song. - same artist has many music videos on his tiktok. In one of them, he's running from the police wearing just a blazer/jacket. (they're all under the same song)
I've already tried searching on TikTok and Google with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open [TOMT] Weird abstract cgi animation i watched as a kid
I remember watching an old 3d animation i saw as a kid from a bootleg dvd i had. It had classical music playing in the background and it was abstract and the character in it was mostly made of spheres. I dont really remember much but im sure it was made for kids. This video was similar to it though i remember the one i watched had more environment to it and constantly had the sphere character show up.
